"Spy" is one of those comedies that is going to make you want to convert all of your money to pounds, buy four Pulp tee-shirts, and start calling your apartment a flat. But there's one thing keeping you from making "I hate you all! I'm moving to Wandsworth!" your de facto threat to friends when someone cuts you off in traffic, and it's this: This show might sound a whole lot like "Chuck."
Yep, "Spy's" Tim used to work at an electronics store and he's been secretly (accidentally, actually) recruited to become an MI5 spy. That's correct.
But "Spy" is like "Chuck" in the same way "Lassie" is like "Teen Wolf." Sure, they're both about canines, but Lassie never spent a whole episode stressing about eating people alive at prom.
"Spy" is smart and awkward and unique and very, wonderfully British, but only in the good ways, and it's available exclusively in the U.S. on Hulu starting today.
